One thing that I really notice when I get out of my 200 and into another
car- the brakes are terrible. The UFOs were quite good, BIRA S2UFO is
far
better than the UFOs, even. With good pedal feel (relatively speaking)
and
excellent braking capacity, it's rather scary to hop into a rental car
and
find that the brakes don't work very well.

If I take a long road trip in a rental, I might go so far as to use a
vacuum
fluid extractor and bleed the brakes w/ decent brake fluid before
leaving,
as well as checking the tire pressures and the pads.

That's why if I owned something like a Suburban, I'd have some big
Brembo
brakes put on that thing, as well as street-oriented tires (not
humungous
24" silly wheels, but something reasonable in an OEM size).
